An acclaimed minister of God whose name was given as Pastor James Sakala was reportedly buried alive to resurrect like Jesus Christ in Zambia.
Pastor Sakala was minister of God in the Zion Church in Chidiza town Zambia, was buried by his followers as he claimed that he would resurrect like Jesus Christ.
However, the Pastor died after being buried alive by his followers.
It was gathered that Sakala claimed he would resurrect after three days, mimicking the story of the resurrection of Jesus.
Before being buried, Sakala allegedly told his followers, "all ye of little faith, bury this Sakala you see now and he shall arise and breathe his lungs full again!"
He was dressed in a white gown wearing leather slippers, with his hands tied up. Three members of his church buried him in a shallow grave.
Despite his assurance that he would return to life on the third day, his members found him dead when they dug up the grave.
